Nikola Jokic is a three-time MVP which on one hand seems perfectly fine and on the other end disturbs me.
Steph Curry has won four championships and only has two MVPs to show for it. How?! Oh nvm he played with Kevin Durant for two of those titles.
Kobe Bryant won five rings and only has one MVP! Shaquille O’Neal has four rings and also only one MVP! Jokic thoughts here:
Nikola Jokic did it all again. And the MVP trophy is his again.
Jokic, the Denver Nuggets star from Serbia, was announced Wednesday night as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player — his third time winning the award in the past four seasons, a feat that just six other players in league history have accomplished.
He averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists. Others averaged more in each category — and Jokic has had better years in each of those categories — but he was the only player to rank in the NBA’s top 10 in points, rebounds and assists per game this season.
Jokic got 79 of a possible 99 first-place votes from the panel of reporters and broadcasters who cast ballots on awards when the regular season ended.
“It’s got to start with your teammates,” Jokic said on TNT, where the award was announced. “Without them, I’m nothing. Without them, I cannot do nothing. Coaches, players, organization, medical staff, development coaches ... I cannot be whoever I am without them.”
HOW HUMBLE. WOW!
He’ll never be as humble as Steph Curry and he knows it. (That is an insane line to write, and I ask for your forgiveness for my resentment.)
But damn does Jokic now rank higher than Curry all-time?!
Thoughts?
